Ships That Can Solo An Entire List

By GreeneScale, in X-Wing

I know that soontir can, but can any of you think of some others? (Imperial preferably, but scum and rebels are cool to!)

Whisper still can, although it has become a lot harder.

Sabine can take out lots of generics, but she will struggle against the average list, similar story with Guri.

PTL+Sensor+Autothruster Guri can solo an entire PS2-4 list of jousters and TLTs unless she gets caught in stress-claws.

and she doesn't, because SENSORS

Pre-nerf, Phantoms had a decent shot at it. Opinions seem to be mixed, post-nerf (and, as always, it came down to flying it right).

I've yet to see it myself, but the Ghost costs enough, on the Rebels side, to imply it should be able to hold its own. Fully loaded, it can basically be a one-ship build, can't it?

Whisper.

Not sure about the other factions, those are more situational. Poe can probably solo a squad of TLT Ys...

Depends on the list. I don't think there are any ships left that can reliably solo everything, but there are certainly some that can solo a wide range.

If you look at the Phantom as an upgrade rather than a separate ship, yes, but without the Phantom a Ghost wouldn't be tough enough to win alone. Against a whole list it goes down quick.

I've solo'ed kinetic operators triple k-wing with Jake Farrell.

TIE phantoms.

TIE phantoms.

Die ignominiously to PS10+, and it's easy enough to do a list with all pilots PS10+.

Regen Corran or Regen Poe can

Wow!

A fully loaded Ghost (not using a Shuttle, as that is a separate ship) still does not surpass Scum Boba in the most expensive ship competition (80 vs 82).

Miranda probably can too., but yeah. Poe and Corran easily.

Yeah, a well flown Corran can take an enemy list to the dump. Fat Han could too back in the day, don't think that's the case anymore.

Rexler with PTL and a mk.ii upgrade is lethal.

whisper, soontir, super dash

Academy pilot.

you just may need more than one of them.

That really really depends on the list you are flying against.... IMHO super Dash and super Dengar (PTL,EU,UA,K4,Title) can do it too. but like I said with the wrong matchup even Soontir doesn't stand a chance. Deci with Vader crushes Soontir easily... :) Miranda, Poe, Corran (mostly because of regen) Whisper, Inquisitor and even Omega Leader can do it given enough time. Depends on the player too :D I'm very thankful there is no definite answer to your question ;)

Every ship has counters to it in this game, so what you ask is a bit of a hard statement to answer. There are some ships, though, that if your opponent doesn't have the tools and you fly well, you can just smack them around.

The biggest example of this is the named Phantoms (pre or post nerf). There are some pretty hard counters to this ship that if you have it, you can crush the Phantom easily. If you DON'T have these hard counters, the Phantom can destroy your entire list. That's why I hate the Phantom. It creates the worst example of what some people call rock/paper/scissors in the game.

Shield regenerating Rebels can almost do the same thing. That's Corran Horn, Miranda, and Poe. If you don't have the tools to stop them, then you can easily lose your whole list.

Fat Han and all the other Primary Weapon is a Turret ships are the same. If they can arc dodge out of your way with Engine Upgrade, then they can lead you on a merry chase.

If your list isn't able to deal with master arc dodger Soontir Fel, he can crush your list single handidly, though it will take some time.

Of course, if you have the tools or know how to fly against these types of ships, then it isn't as much of a problem.

Corran

Ptl

Sensors

Engine

R2-d2

literally any ship you see in one of those derivative two-ship builds

which, of course, means the fat few (Han/Chewie, Cheri/palp kenkirk, Dash; Dengar for sure now) + an Iggy

and the little gnats that follow them (soontir, whisper, vader, corran, possibly even Poe; Inq to a lesser extent)

if you're skilled enough and fly a ship that can shoot while not getting shot at (which could be arc-dodging, or something simpler such as being able to shoot while blocking ala feedback or Zeb crew on an auto-correct ghost), you can potentially solo a list

Edited by ficklegreendice

Soontir can but he is crazy reliant on NOT rolling blank-blank-something or blank-focus-hit/crit, which happens

ALL THE **** TIME!

:P

My vote goes to Corran with Ptl, Fcs, Engine and R2-D2. Once I was left with only him vs 3 TLT scum Y-wings and won easily. Regenerated like 15 shields though :)

Dash Rendar was, although I've got better at flying against him now.

Boba Fett (scum) is a nightmare to face, although that's more specific to my list; when you have a TIE swarm that needs to be at range 1 to reliably hurt someone, Boba Fett's ability is truly hideous.
